Question

question 5 of 10
this diagram is a genetic map that shows the relative positions of four alleles along a chromosome.
which two alleles have the highest probability of being inherited together?
a. g and p
b. h and p
c. h and k
d. g and k

Explanation:

Genes (alleles) that are closer together on a chromosome have a higher probability of being inherited together due to the phenomenon of genetic linkage. In the given genetic map, alleles \(G\) and \(K\) are the closest to each other compared to the other pairs (e.g., \(G\) and \(P\) are far apart, \(H\) and \(P\) are far apart, \(H\) and \(K\) are not as close as \(G\) and \(K\)).

Answer:

D. G and K
